The amount of people doing d-mb math trying to "calculate" a 60% in this forum is both hilarious and worrying. Maybe it's because of then we all have to go back in. Gotta micro manage their excel sheet formulas lol

To work at a failing bank - no, you do not need to be good at math.
Take a sick day in the months that require 14 days in the office. Use them or lose them. Now is the time to use them.
@aj it is a higher requirement. Period. Let's say someone takes 4 days off in March:
Old system in office requirement: 11-4 = 7 days
New system requirement: 22-4 = 18 x 0.6 = 10.8 so 11 days to be over 0.6.
I'm not bad at math to understand 11 days is more than 7.
You can argue that 11 days wasn't an accurate requirement (it was) or that vacation days shouldn't be deducted from them (they were) and you'd be correct they tried to be vague about that. But that was 100% the requirement and it was put in writing many times. The "3 days a week" was the spirit, but 11 was the requirement.
Over the course of the year this change adds dozens of extra days in office depending how much vacation someone takes etc.
@OP “Aren’t you supposed to be good at logic to be posting this?”
The amount of people doing d-mb superiority math trying to “calculate” intelligence from someone misunderstanding percentages in an anonymous forum is both hilarious and worrying.
Maybe it’s because if they used actual reasoning, they’d realize mocking strangers online isn’t a skillset either. ‘Gotta’ micromanage everybody else’s brain cells since they can’t manage their own. Funny how people obsess over sounding smart while saying nothing intelligent at all.
@ag try to get learnt on your speelling before you're be talk-n down on peoples
Breath (noun, rhymes with "me-h") is the air inhaled/exhaled or the single cycle of respiration, such as "take a deep breath". Breathe (verb, rhymes with "teethe") is the action of moving air in and out of the lungs, such as "breathe in
@a6 Exactly! And in order for your days off to affect your monthly RTO requirement you have to take more days of vacation/ssl in a given month. Otherwise at the end of the year you'll be in the office for more days than with the previously acceptable 11 days/month policy.
Incomplete and inaccurate data aside, making this policy retroactive to cover the winter when most of the bank's footprint had terrible weather is diabolical and the psycophants attempting to use math to disguise their bootlicking is sad.
To be clear. Deducting days, such as sick days and vacation, does not "increase the requirement". The requirement is the number of days in office (the numerator) divided by the total days (the denominator). The total days gets reduced by vacation or sick days, etc., meaning the denominator is reduced. If the numerator stays the same (let's say 11 days) but the denominator gets smaller, the percentage goes up. 11÷18 = 61% which is a Pass or meets expectations while 11÷20 = 55% or not a Pass. So the smaller the denominator (which comes down based on sick, vacation, etc.) the better assuming the numerator stays the same. No increased requirement. If you were not deducting from the denominator, you would need to be in 12 days as 12 ÷ 20 = 60%. I think the easiest way to look at it is for every five working days (no vacation, sick, weekends, holiday, etc) you need to be in office 3 of those days.
Ha ha even people arguing with you can't even math, surprised they can spell, or breath!
@a6 Additionally, it means looking at things over a rolling 3 month period to see if one of your days to get over that threshold covers another place (especially since it’s retroactive).
You're being disingenuous. The disagreements aren't over how to calculate 60%. It's about the details:
- .61 vs .6 often means an extra day
- .61 requires far more than 11 days
- deducting vacation and sick days off of total possible days instead of office days means a far higher requirement
Not really….working in banking is like working in retail aka Walmart.
